The First STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge of 2019:-)
The talented Design Team is looking forward to Inspiring all our followers with CAS Card Designs!
Please remember to make your Cards CAS Anything Goes
with Optional Color Twist: Burgundy.
A fun STAMPlorations CAS Card Design using Six products...how fun is that?
I wanted to use the CAS Anything Goes Challenge with the optional
color twist: Burgundy, but did not have any burgundy inks so....I mixed my own
with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors.
I Googled Burgundy and got ideas for color wheel mixing to get a shade of Burgundy.
I used #34 Dark Pink, #36 Red Wine, #37 Deep Pink and #139 Purple for Burgundy.
Used my T.H. Glass Craft Mat and wet flat paint brush to spread my watercolors onto mat.
Painted all 4 colors onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
The bottom color was a mixture of #37 and #139 for my shade of burgundy.
When dry I die cut with ATC Tag Builder Die, which left a few scraps.
Next heat embossed the happy from the Happy Birthday stamp set.
Next die cut the Birthday Word Die from a piece of leftover paper that had been painted
with the #34 Dark Pink. Die cut another Birthday using SU Basic Black CS and stacked both using SU Fine Tip Glue Pen.
My image looked too flat and unfinished, so I stamped the sweet Brave One butterflies on
another small scrap using Versafine Black ink and fussy cut. Stamped the flowers from the same set and ink onto a scrap of MM paper and cut off one flower and fussy cut.
Then colored the flower with a Zig marker.
Popped up all 3 small embellishments and added small rhinestone from my stash to flower.
Next Die cut Whisper White layer for a simple border and popped up main image
with fun foam. Attached to SU Whisper White Card Base and Done!
I managed to keep my design CAS even with using so many STAMPloration products:-)
